The FY2025 report certifies 108,197.03 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1). The same report certifies 108,197.03 as the total received since 2022 and 108,197.03 as unspent or uncommitted on hand. The books do not hold that figure. At 06/30/2025 the Borough's opioid lines carried 98,707.55 of appropriations. They are 12,701.00 entered 05/03/2023, 20,837.00 entered 05/08/2024, 37,572.55 entered 05/23/2024 under Resolution 24-167, 25,597.00 entered 04/01/2025 and 2,000.00 entered 04/30/2025. Only the last two, 27,597.00, fall inside the reporting period. Nothing was encumbered. The line prints Encumber YTD 0.00, and its first purchase order, 25-02202 for 1,500.00 to The Black Poster Project, was opened on 09/09/2025. The certified figure is the money received. It is 9,489.48 more than every appropriation on the books combined, and no order stood behind any of it.
